Biofools

Biofuels.

Biofuels havebecome political. The corndom sees its inherent right to sell corn at high prices to generate hydrocarbons. This results in the discovery by both libs and dimocrats that the other party is using the farmers for gain. That said, biofuels and corn-ethanol are NOT the same thing. There are interesting ways of making fuel more efficiently than Nature .. after all natural selection TOWARD a biologic fuel does not make much Darwinian sense. More evidence for unintelligent design!

Both libs and radical rightists need to give up a lot of holy ground if we are to make a realistic effort at a national energy plan.

1. drop the opposition to Cuba, trade our stuff for their stuff ..cheap sugar! BTW, Cuba also sits off of sizebale underwater oil.


Unfortunately for the dogmatic right, this includes making peace.

2. cut down on domestic drilling. A barrel of oil in February 2015 will be worth a lot more than the present value of the $100 it costs to buy that today.

The free market says buy at the cheapest cost you can .. that is NOT American oil!


Unfortunately for the dogmatic right, the Texas oilmen do not look this far forward. They want their silver now!


3. tax suburbia. Suburbia was am oily wet dream. If we want to be energy more efficient, we need to consider the projected costs of Los Angeles in fuel going into cars. As a start, all major closed roads, i.e. freeways, should be tolled. The tolls should go to the furutre costs of replacement of the structures and toward alternative transportation . light rail.


Unfortunately for the dogmatic right, this includes interfering in propert5y rights and creation fo a single payer rail system.


4. Mandate YUCCA mountain. This more bi-liberal/conservative pandering. The US needs a rational nuclear policy and that probably includes Yucca.


Unfortunately for BOTH sides, this issue means los9ing precious votes.


5. Form an international, strategic alliance directed around long term fuel issues. We need to ally with China and India .. at the potential loss of Taiwan, Japan, and Korea. We also need to ally with Brazil to control deforestation and growth of biofuels.


Unfortunately for BOTH sides this will only work if the others side does not use this as a basis for McCarthyism. Who lost China? Both sides did, lets move on.



6. Spend dollars on BASIC research. There is NO promise that science will solve this problem and even some evidence the problem may not be soluble. The most likely successes come from the imponderables of what we do not know now .. that is very basic science.

Unfortunately for the dogmatic right, this includes life-creation. The formation of new life forms is one of the most promising possibiities to create efficient. biofuels. Furle independence depends on DARWIN



Unfortunately for BOTH sides this means funding the obstreperous intulechuals called Scientists and NOT funding pork. Both parties try to politicize science. This was a large part of the reason the USSR failed and Reprican demeaning of the investor of the internet did not hewlp either.

7. Limit population growth.

Unfortunately for the dogmatic right, this includes encouraging abortion.
